backend-golang

backend-golang is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from kieutrongthien/skills-fullstack. It costs 18 tokens per session (676 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for building and maintaining Go backends with Gin or Echo, which are tools for making web APIs.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps add API routes, validation, logging, persistence, performance improvements, security work, and tests in Go services.
Why use it?
It gives a consistent way to structure handlers, business logic, data access, configuration, testing, and error handling.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

backend-golang scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/dev-check.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Backend - Go (Gin/Echo)

When to use this skill

  • Building or updating Go HTTP APIs using Gin or Echo.
  • Adding routes/handlers/middleware, validation, logging, or persistence.
  • Improving performance, observability, security, or testing for Go services.

Quick start

  1. Install deps: go mod tidy (or go mod download).
  2. Env: copy .env.example -> .env if present; load via godotenv/config; set DB URLs, secrets, and service endpoints.
  3. Run: go run ./... or service-specific make dev if provided.
  4. Test: go test ./...; lint/format: golangci-lint run and gofmt -w/go fmt ./....
  5. Build: go build ./cmd/... or project entry.

Project structure basics

  • cmd/<service>/main.go: entrypoint; wire router, middleware, config, logger, DI.
  • internal/ or pkg/: handlers, services/usecases, repositories, domain models, DTOs.
  • configs/: config files; prefer typed config structs with validation.
  • migrations/: SQL/DDL migrations if applicable.

Coding principles

  • Keep handlers thin: parse/validate input, call services/usecases, map errors to HTTP responses.
  • Services hold business logic; repositories isolate data access; prefer interfaces for tests.
  • Validate inputs; return typed errors and map to consistent JSON error shapes.
  • Use context-aware logging with request IDs; never log secrets.
  • Prefer golangci-lint and go test ./... before merge (see scripts/dev-check.sh).

Patterns and snippets

  • See references/snippets.md for Gin/Echo router setup, middleware, handlers, error mapping, and DI patterns.
  • Centralize HTTP error responses; include correlation ID; avoid panics in request path.
  • Use context.Context in all public methods; pass through layers.

Bundled resources

  • scripts/dev-check.sh: run pre-commit/PR to enforce gofmt, lint, tests, and optional build.
  • references/coding-standards.md: guardrails on layering, validation, errors, logging, and testing.
  • references/best-practices.md: deeper guidance for Gin/Echo routing, middleware, observability, performance, and security.
  • references/snippets.md: ready-to-copy snippets for Gin and Echo (routing, middleware, handlers, errors).
  • assets/pr-template.md: PR checklist with testing evidence and API notes.
  • assets/migration-checklist.md: use when adding DB schema changes.

What ships with it

6 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

backend-golang is a skill published in the GitHub repository kieutrongthien/skills-fullstack (2 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 18 tokens to every session and 676 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
